Judges 4-5, Luke 22:35-53, Psalms 94:1-23, Proverbs 14:3-4
What God said to me – You can learn a lot “people watching” – what to do and what not to do. If you’ve ever sat by a skating rink watching people skate, you almost always see a dad teaching his child to skate. The dad holds tightly on to his child and when the child cries out that he’s going to fall because he’s slipping and sliding, you hear the dad say, “It’s okay – I’ve got you – straighten up and calm down, I won’t let you fall.” It’s only when the child goes off on his own that he crashes and burns. Learn from this observation – when you fall, it’s because you let go of Me and went off on your own. As long as you are walking with Me – holding on to Me, you may slip and slide, but I will not let you go. My mercy will hold you up. When you panic and think you are about to fall, when your anxious thoughts multiply within you, cry out to Me and I will calm you and console you. “I AM” your stronghold and your rock of refuge. “I AM” a Father who will not let you fall – hold on to Me.
